CBS said The Late Show ’s cancellation was purely based on finances, despite Stephen Colbert being considered one of the best late-night hosts on a show that was comfortably winning its timeslot in the ratings.

Stephen Colbert took a moment in his monologue Thursday evening to praise the 'South Park' premiere for its AI-generated clip of Trump in the nude.

Since then, Colbert has been ripping into Donald Trump with renewed relish, often while also flaying CBS and its parent company, Paramount. By doubling down on attacking his most powerful enemy, at a time when network execs are facing such intense scrutiny for what many believe was a politically motivated firing,

“Luminarieses,” Colbert repeated as the audience laughed. “Somebody’s ‘brain power’ is in low battery mode.” He rolled a clip of Trump complaining about the term “artificial intelligence” because “I don’t like anything that’s artificial.” Given the president’s famous love of fast food and Diet Coke, Colbert found that claim hard to swallow.

While reveling in the latest Wall Street Journal bombshell regarding the Epstein files and Trump’s knowledge of the inclusion of his name, Colbert highlighted a list of apparent nicknames for the former president that he jokingly claimed were also in the files. One in particular, however, stood out: “Micropenis DJT.”

The Late Show' host Stephen Colbert said President Donald Trump's attacks on Barack Obama were distracting from his handling of the Epstein files.

"You know how they say there's no such thing as bad publicity? They're not talking about this," the recently axed late night host says.

"CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil pushed back at the liberal outrage over his network's decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
